Oh, the weather outside is frightful so get out there and start doing some stupid stuff in cars. Yes, whether it's racing a rally car against a bobsleigh, playing ice hockey with tiny Suzukis, or seeing if a Ferrari can get you from Britain to the ski slopes quicker than a plane, Top Gear has always been at the cutting edge of cold-weather, car-based cocking about. Can a combine harvester be turned into a snow plough? What happens if you ski-jump a rocket-powered Mini? Does a Jaguar estate make a good ski lift? This collection sees Jeremy, James and Richard a trio well versed in treading on thin ice answering these vital questions, and more besides. Uniting, for the first time, some of the best Top Gear winter adventures, it's a snowy, slippery celebration of all things sub-zero. When the temperature plummets, the fun begins
Top Gear: Apocalypse
In 2013 Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond embarked on what they hoped would be the perfect road trip. It started well and ended quite frankly very badly. Unbowed the Top Gear pair are back for another crack and this time they’re hoping to avoid inconveniences like apprehension by the French police. Welcome then to The Perfect Road Trip… 2. Once again Clarkson and Hammond are seeking joy and perfection wherever it may be with a range of fast beautiful and exciting cars unleashed on glorious roads amongst gorgeous scenery and drenched in Mediterranean sunshine. As part of their arduous research into perfection the duo will also undertake some ridiculous challenges and hilarious stunts culminating in a strangely literal car race on the island of Capri. Top Gear – The Perfect Road Trip 2. This time it really is perfect. Except for the bits that aren’t.
A selection of the best challenges from the latest series. Includes The Channel Crossing The 24 Hour Race The Greatest Driving Road Bugatti Veyron Vs Eurofighter Motorhome Racing Fiat 500 vs BMX and Race Across London.
Having ceased to take itself seriously, Top Gear has now become the definitive weekly fantasy fix for petrol-heads everywhere. This compilation from the first and second series of the revamped show is mainly a chunk of four-wheeled fun that descends, more than occasionally, into downright silliness. Who would have it any other way? Unusually though, the cars are very nearly upstaged by the string of surprisingly good celebs who are wheeled on to fill the guest slot. We get Jay Kay, Harry Enfield, Jodie Kidd, Anne Robinson and many other luminaries. Several make genuinely funny contributions to the show, such as Jamie Oliver (who sends himself up something rotten while trying to prepare a salad in the back of a VW camper van as it careers around a test track), Patrick Stewart (Clarkson: "You're the most famous guest we've had on". Stewart: "This must be a terrible show, then.") and Boris Johnson, who admits to once having used a mobile phone while riding a bicycle. In the midst of all this, the programme still somehow gets around to beating seven colours of brake fluid out of assorted Jags, Lambos, Astons and so on. There are some show-stealing stunts-cum-sight gags, too, such as the reversal of Eddie Kidd's classic bus-jumping bike stunt that sees a bus being "jumped" over the same number of bikes. Buses, of course, stay in the air the way bricks don't. The caravan-towing speed record attempt is almost serious, except Hammond checks the small print and sees there's no restriction on what you can use to move the caravan. He chooses gravity and drops it from a crane. On the DVD: The Best of Top Gear also includes a fact file that gives the spec of each vehicle and a rather unexciting photo gallery. --Roger Thomas
As the name suggests Top Gear: Best Of British is a celebration of all manifestations of Finnish folk dancing from the haunting raisikipi and the delicate kestipilla to the bewitching majesty of the runkiapunkipilliapu in all its many forms. Not really. Best Of British is actually a look back at some of Top Gear's finest encounters with the very best of British cars. And sometimes the very worst. Within this lavishly crafted plastic box you will find Bentleys Morgans Rolls-Royces Lotuses and the glorious Jensen Interceptor. On a slightly less glamorous note there's also the British Leyland Challenge in which Jeremy Richard and James try to prove that the strike-prone 1970s behemoth actually made one or two good cars. And when you've had your fill of rust and despair you can move on to the presenters' flag-waving celebration of all that is great about car-building in Blighty ending with a spectacular tear-jerking line-up of British-made metal on The Mall. This DVD is best watched whilst wearing Union Jack underpants.
South America Special: The Director's Cut: What happens when you take a tall man in jeans a small man dressed as Ray Mears and a shaggy haired man with the most ridiculous tool belt you've ever seen and you drop them deep in the Amazon rain forest? Well either you don't see them again until some proper explorers find their still-screaming skeletons. Or as actually happened you let them take along a trio of temperamental 4x4s and set them off on a 1000 mile journey through forest over mountains and across deserts in what turns out to be Top Gear's most exciting dramatic and visually stunning adventure to date. Romania & Bonneville: The Director's Cut Romania: When the Top Gear team received whisper that deep within Romania lurked one of the world's best driving roads they had no option but to seek it out. And to do so they got hold of three superb convertible supercars in what became an incredible Eastern European adventure. From a noise test underneath the world's heaviest building and James's romantic encounter with the Dacia Sandero to a small accident with the locals and Jeremy in a silly hat this trip has everything. And best of all it culminates with three wonderful cars enjoying absolute petrolhead nirvana. Bonneville USA: Jeremy Richard and James head to the United States to see if the Americans still make any good cars. Unfortunately there's a small error with their visas and the US immigration authorities will only let them in if they promise not to do anything entertaining. So with serious faces on they set off on a proper old fashioned muscle car road trip to the amazing Bonneville salt flats. Along the way Richard becomes an amateur aerodynamicist Jeremy discovers a strange security problem with one of their cars and Captain Slow discovers a hitherto hidden love of fast driving in what turns out to be a dusty dirty slice of pure car lover's heaven.
Middle East Special In their biggest adventure yet (until next year's DVD) Jeremy Richard and James attempt to recreate the journey of the original Three Wise Men as they bumble their way across the Middle East towards Bethlehem. But this high octane nativity play is fraught with danger and incompetence. Will they survive the hair raising landing in a Russian transport plane? Will they get out of Iraq in one piece? Will Jeremy's bullet proof door actually stop bullets? Will their clapped out hairdressers' convertibles survive the tortures of the Syrian deserts? Will James recover from his head injury? Will Mary and Joseph be happy with their gifts? Will they even find the right manger? The answers are yes yes no sort of sort of no and no. But you'll find that out for yourself in this extended length film. The USA and Albania Roadtrips In their not quite biggest adventures yet the boys visit the good old US of A and former Eastern Bloc Albania for two action packed road trips. In America our trio armed with the hottest new supercars - the Mercedes SLS Ferrari 458 and the Porsche 911 GT3RS - head through NASCAR Country and enjoy a dancing Mayor a Stig on a drive by shooting range and the white knuckle Virginia Raceway with their adventure climaxing in a race across New York. But that's nothing compared to Albania where they are summoned by a MAFIA Boss to pick a winner from the new Rolls Royce Ghost The Mercedes S Class and the new Bentley Mulsanne (sort of). Keen to please the boys embark on their most comprehensive test ever including the Dead Fat Man in the Boot challenge and a bank robbery to find the best getaway car. Will James be killed in the resulting car chase? The answer is yes. Definitely.

Their adventure starts with an eye widening max speed run at the vast Nard proving ground which tests not only performance but also sheer bravery. After that the boys head towards Rome, encountering relaxed policemen and work-shy mechanics along the way, before continuing north for a date with one of the toughest and most dangerous challenges they've ever faced - hot laps of the uncompromising Imola Grand Prix track. Great cars, wonderful scenery, hilarious banter and the Stig's Italian cousin - this is Top Gear at its very best.
